"Every neighborhood should have a solid hot pot spot. In LIC, Da Long Yi fills that need. Located in a big, bright space on top of a mall, the second NYC outpost of this international chain has beautifully carved interiors, right out of an Anthropologie catalog. With a sauce bar and a regular bar, it's perfect for a slightly dressed up evening. The prices are a little higher than some other hot pot places around town, but you get a lot of food. For around $65, the value combo for two easily ends up being enough food for three." - neha talreja, bryan kim, hannah albertine, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick
"This globetrotting hot pot chain has come a long way since opening up shop in Chengdu, the capital city of China’s Szechuan province, and touching down in Manhattan’s Chinatown in 2019. It’s easy to rack up a bill with the a la carte pricing for an extensive array of fixings here, but fans stand by its signature red pot, a spicy broth made of herbs, chile peppers, and peppercorns that have been fried in beef tallow and served with butter, as tradition calls for here. It’s a welcome oasis for those with a formidable spice tolerance. Make a reservation, scan a QR code to order, and bring your ID for a free birthday hot pot." - Caroline Shin
"Da Long Yi is a Sichuan hot pot chain from the city of Chengdu that specializes in a three broth hot pot experience that includes a lighter, non-spicy mushroom broth, a non-spicy tomato broth, and its signature red hot broth. The signature broth is made with dozens of herbs, chile peppers, and peppercorns that have been sourced from different Chinese provinces and fried in beef tallow. In the Before Times, diners began each meal by making their own sauce from the ingredients on hand, including herbs, chiles, and garlic. Da Long Yi’s signature sesame oil is poured into each customer’s creation, a tradition specific to Sichuan-style hot pot." - Kristie Hang
"Da Long Yi Hot Pot, which has seen a 50 percent drop in revenue since news of the novel coronavirus, launched a lunch delivery service earlier in February." - Tony Lin
"Da Long Yi, another renowned Chengdu franchise, also landed in Manhattan Chinatown. But the popular Chengdu restaurant has been met with underwhelming reviews." - Tony Lin
